As indicated by reports from Mike Asti of WV Sports Now earlier this week, Noel Devine has officially been named assistant running backs coach and offensive analyst on the staff of Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia.
Devine, a WVU Hall of Fame inductee who is the third-leading rusher in program history and the program record holder for career all-purpose yards, took to social media to celebrate the official announcement, which came early on Sunday.
Such a blessing to be back home country roads looking forward to working with the amazing staff and players. Let’s get back to our traditions GOLD STANDARD and BLUE COLLAR work ethic. LETS GOOOO MOUNTAINEERS! https://t.co/n3hnIq9kN2

"Noel knows how I run my program, and more importantly, he wants to give back to the place that has given him so much," Rodriguez said. "He knows Mountaineer football, and he will be a great asset on the offensive side of the ball."
It will be Devine's first-ever gig coaching football collegiately, but he brings experience coaching at the high school level in his native Florida. He also has successfully owned and operated DevineSpeed, which has served as a speed training facility for numerous athletes in multiple sports.
